    Default Log() method in need of fixing please

    Ok here it is this I'm creating a FileLogger and its a singleton by design, I need to log messages to the file, once I have the new file I need to append the log message to the end of the file. Unfortunately I do not know how to do this and this is the only part that I am missing is these two stinking methods which are clearly empty. So if anyone could lend some assistance it would be greatly appreciated.

    public class FileLogger extends SimpleLogger {

    What does the code do when it is executed? Where does it write to?

    How can the code be tested?

    When a message is logged, the logfile should contain the following information:  A timestamp  The log level of the message  The component that the program was in when the message is logged
     The message itself, or the stack trace of the Throwable (in the case of the second log method
    2
    The logfile should always be appended to, so that log messages from successive invocations of the logged software all appear in the file. This allows developers to compare log messages over time.

    Messages contain correct information
    Message is only logged if it is at the appropriate log level.

    public class MyProgram {
     
    	private SimpleLogger logger;
     
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
    	     try {
    			SimpleLogger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger("File");
    			logger.setLevel(Level.INFO);
     
    			 logger.log(Level.INFO, "main", "system starting");
     
    			 try {
    				double res1 = doDivision(2,3);
    				 double res2 = doDivision(3,0);
    			} catch (Exception e) {
     
    				logger.log(Level.ERROR, "main", e);
    			}
    			 logger.log(Level.INFO,  "main", "system ending");
     
    		} catch (LoggerException e) {
     
    			e.printStackTrace();
    		}
     
    	}
     
    	private static double doDivision(int i, int j) {
    		{
    			double res=0;
    			 try {
    					SimpleLogger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger("File");
     
    				//	 logger.initialize();
     
    					 logger.log(Level.INFO, "doDivision", "entering");
     
    				     if ( j == 0)
    				     {
    				    	 throw new IllegalArgumentException("Attempt to divide by  0");
    				     }
    				     else
    				     {
    				    	 res = i/j;
    				    	 logger.log(Level.INFO, "doDivision", "result is " + res);
    				     }
     
     
    				} catch (LoggerException e) {
     
    					e.printStackTrace();
    				}
     
    			 return res;
    		}
     
    	}
     
    }

    This is what I came up with but I am not sure that I have all the requirements

    import java.util.*; 
    import java.text.*;
    import java.io.*;
     
     
    public class FileLogger extends SimpleLogger {
     
    	private File logFile;
        private static FileLogger instance;
     
     
    	public static FileLogger getInstance(String logFilePath){
    		if (instance == null)
    		   instance = new FileLogger(logFilePath);
    		return instance;
    	}
     
    	public FileLogger(String logFilePath){
            logFile = new File(logFilePath);
            try{
                logFile.createNewFile();
            }
            catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
     
     
    	@Override
    	public void log(Level logLevel, String component, String msg)
    			throws LoggerException {
     
    		DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss");
            Date date = new Date();
     
    		if(logLevel.compareTo(getLevel()) >=0)
    		try{
    			FileWriter out = new FileWriter(logFile,true);
    			String dateTime = dateFormat.format(date);
    			BufferedWriter bufferedWriter = new BufferedWriter(out);
    			bufferedWriter.append("\n" + dateTime + logLevel + component + msg + "");
            	bufferedWriter.newLine();
    			bufferedWriter.close();
    		}catch (IOException e) {
    			throw new LoggerException();
    		}
    	}
     
     
    	@Override
    	public void log(Level error, String component, Throwable t)
    			throws LoggerException{
    		DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss");
            Date date = new Date();
    		if(error.compareTo(getLevel()) >=0)
    			try{
    				FileWriter out = new FileWriter(logFile,true);
    				String dateTime = dateFormat.format(date);
    				BufferedWriter bufferedWriter = new BufferedWriter(out);
    				bufferedWriter.append("\n" + dateTime + error + component + t + "");
    	        	bufferedWriter.newLine();
    				bufferedWriter.close();
    	    }catch (IOException e) {
    	    throw new LoggerException();
    	    }
    	}
    }

    not sure that I have all the requirements
    Make a list of the requirements and check off those that the code provides. What is left will be what will have to be done.

    There is no way to compile and execute the posted code for testing.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
